I'm about worthless with RegEx but you could just use the Select Marc Records tool to extract all the records with your 521, and then add the 658 in the Editor.  If there are multiple tasks like this though there's probably a better way with the Swap fields function.

I hope that is helpful.

Hi all,
Can anyone point me to the instructions on how to find/replace one field in a MARC record with 2 fields? Here's an example:

I want to turn this:
=521  8\$aM$bFountas & Pinnell.

...into this:
=521  8\$aM$bFountas & Pinnell.
=658  \\$aLevel M (Fountas and Pinnell)$2local

I've been using MarcEdit for about 5 years, but I've never learned how to do this particular task...I know it involves regular expression, which I'm not super familiar with, but I'm willing to learn.
Thanks in advance!
Andrea
